I will add Co.Ba.Ja and Tom's on Brigade Road, roughly opposite to each other for some genuinely tasty stuff if they eat meat. Also Mangalore Pearl in Fraser Town, and Anupam's Coast2Coast for very good karavali food. And Sharief Bhai for the best of Bamgalorean Muslim cuisine. >

Hahaha! Would you believe me if I said that the food in National Lodge isn’t spicy anymore?
